Data Sheet

Please let me know, is it possible to use each recording module has individual data source?

Which means I have two different recording modules in a test suite, I want two different Excel test data file for individual recording modules, so I want to do data binding for each Excel to individual recording module.

In the test suite, you can add test cases for each of the modules, then bind your data to the test case for the module in need of it.

Thank you for your solution..
So can't we bind each excel test data to individual recording modules within a single test case?

No, data sources can only be bound to test cases, not to recording modules. You can do something like this:

-TestSuite
--TestCase1 ==> DataBinding1
---TestModule1
--TestCase2 ==> DataBinding2
---TestModule2


You can even add test cases inside test cases. Just think of the test cases in Ranorex as a FOR-EACH loop. They will run FOR EACH data row in the data connector's data set.

So, you can have, for example:

-TestSuite
--TestCase1 ==> DataBinding1 (so, for each data row in DataBinding1, do everything inside TestCase1)
---TestModule1
---TestCase1.1 ==> DataBinding2 (and, for each data row in DataBinding2, do everything inside TestCase1.1, etc.)
----TestModule2
----TestModule3
----TestCase1.2 ==> DataBinding3
-----TestModule4
--TestCase2 ==> DataBinding4
---TestModule5

If you think of the test cases as for-each loops, it may help you figure out a way to structure your tests the way you want. My test suites are very complex, and actually use MSSQL with dynamic SQL queries at run-time. It is a great exercise in logical thinking.
